WORTH IT$2,050

I had septoplasty and rhinoplasty on december 12, 2012! my septum was in the shape of an S and very deviated! I also had a hump on the bridge of my nose. I had a car wreck about 4 years ago and it really made the features i already hated about my nose more prominent!

I actually found this website through google and started reading stories and looking at pics of everyone and it gave the push i needed to go get a consultation! The insurance approved the septum but i worked for about 6 months to save the rest of the money for the hump to be removed! Of course any surgery has its challenges but this has a reward in the end!

They peeled mine off, it came off ez once the tape came off. But the tape on my nose was a bit tender when he pulled that off :( stitches pinched when they came out, made my eyes tear a bit. Then he put glue on my nose and put a bunch of tape on it and told me to leave it on for AT LEAST another week. So the hard parts over i guess, except the waiting game... Patience i guess is virtue lol. Good luck, u will b fine :)

Hi! I had my surgery (rynoplasty) on 12/12/12. Im also very excited to see what my nose is going to look like with out the hump. the only bad experience has been the fact that i can't breath threw my nose. I'm so conjustested; I hope it goes away soon. Any suggestion on how to help with the stuffiness?

they gave me afrin and it helps some but i think its just a process! I did discover that holding ice to the bottom of my nose where my nostrils are kinda takes ur mind off the breathing and relieves some discomfort! I think the breathing better will come with time. im hoping its better once the splint comes off! do u get ur of tomorrow??

Lookin good so far! I have a question about the bottom part of ur nose, like at the nostrils. It looks so dark... Is that tape that's under your cast thats lifting your tip?

meganleashea

December 18, 2012

yes its tape and honestly i think its not blood from stitches i think its from where my nose bled and leaked onto the tape!
